Dear BCA members, The 2014 Spring BCA meeting is not far away now and the abstract submission deadline is fast approaching – 1 week remains!
Abstracts can be submitted at: http://www.hg3.co.uk/bca/ The deadline for submissions is 9 am on Monday January 20th. This deadline applies to both oral and poster presentations and to both contributed and invited abstracts. The deadline cannot be extended. The theme of the meeting is Crystallography@100: Looking to the Future, Learning from the Past, and reflects the period of centenary celebration of the field of crystallography, marked by 2014 being designated the International year of Crystallography (IYCr) by UNESCO. The main meeting will be held at The University of Loughborough on April 8-10th, 2014, and features 13 symposia, the Bragg and Lonsdale lectures, 4 additional plenary lectures and 4 prize lectures for early career researchers. The meeting is preceded as usual, by the one-day Young Scientists Satellite Meeting (April 7-8th). Details of the meeting programme, as well as registration details, can be found on the BCA website at: http://crystallography.org.uk/bca-spring-meeting-7th-10th-april-2014/ I hope to see many of you at the meeting this year and look forward to seeing the abstracts flowing in. Best wishes Lee Brammer BCA 2014 Programme Chair Professor of Chemistry University of Sheffield
